Excerpt from Stravinsky: An Autobiography
The aim of this volume is to set down a few recol lections connected with various periods of my life. It is equally intended for those interested in my music and in myself. Rather, therefore, than a biography it will be a simple account of important events side by side with facts of minor consequence: both, how ever, have a certain significance for me,*and I wish to relate them according to the dictates of my mem ory.
